The Mercy of God
Though I’ve been delinquent in updating the site, Outside Da Box and the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston are doing a great job by creating new videos every month to help teens understand a different element of the Catechism, and I’ve the honor of writing the… Continue Reading “The Mercy of God”
The Little Ukulele Boy
Did you know in Hawaii that the story of “The Little Drummer Boy” is re-told as “The Little Ukelele Boy?” Probably not, because I just made that up. But if there was a story about “The Little Ukulele Boy,” it would star Kyle Heimann.… Continue Reading “The Little Ukulele Boy”
A Great Advent Book for Kids
I don’t normally do this, but sometimes you come across something too good not to share. And when it’s made by people you know, that makes it even more special. Theresa and Charles Pobee-Mensah just wrote a book together called, “Bible Characters for Advent.”… Continue Reading “A Great Advent Book for Kids”
I’m fasting from myself
When people ask me about my music, my usual joke is, “I’m a big fan of me. I have all my CDs.” The truth is that I rarely hear my own music unless 1) my kids ask for it, or 2) it comes up… Continue Reading “I’m fasting from myself”

Psalm 95
This is the one “true” accordion song off the upcoming CD. What you hear is what it is (except I can play it better—it was a challenge to do a good take between napping baby, loud kids, etc!) Just a boy and his accordion,… Continue Reading “Psalm 95”
Hey, Youth Ministers!
Last week was the St. John Bosco Catechetical Conference and it was such a joy to see people from America, Canada, England, Ireland, and even Australia come together to celebrate the faith and be equipped to pass it on more effectively. Of course, the… Continue Reading “Hey, Youth Ministers!”
Prince for a Pauper
This is another instance of how the idea behind the song ended up nothing like the song itself. Believe it or not, the inspiration for this song came from wanting to write something beautiful about the liturgy. But I imagined it to be, well,… Continue Reading “Prince for a Pauper”
Gratitude
It’s been an amazing few weeks for me and my family. If I could sum up what I’m feeling in one word, it would be: gratitude. I just finished my fourth and final youth conference of the summer. I always struggle to find words to… Continue Reading “Gratitude”
